“And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?”
'The LORD turned to him and said, 'Go in this might of yours and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian; do I not send you?' — The LORD's commission overrides Gideon's objections with a direct mandate: 'Go in this might of yours and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian'. The phrase 'do I not send you?' emphasizes God's direct agency in Gideon's calling, establishing that the commission originates from divine authority rather than human initiation.
